Three Deca articles[edit]

Currently, Wikipedia has the following articles:

Deca - the SI prefix for 10
Deca- - the numerical prefix for 10
Deca (slang) - the slang term
DECA- Distributive Education Clubs of America

Do any registered Wikipedians suggest any page moves?? 66.32.251.248 22:32, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Personally, I would favour merging the numerical and SI articles, if this can be done carefully. However, I would wish to distance both these articles from street slang article. Ian Cairns 22:36, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Abbreviations like DKL[edit]

My son's Algebra 1 text has dkl for decalitre. It might be worth including a mention of abbreviations with that as an example, but if so I'm not sure where to put it in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobEnyart (talk • contribs) 14:15, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a disambig[edit]

This doesn't seem to be a disambig page to me - it's an article discussing "Deca". Can I remove the {{disambig}}?

Removed. If there are more alternative meanings added, a separate deca/deka (disambiguation) should be created, with only one disambiguation link here. Also removed the dictionary definitions for the numerical prefix, which belong elsewhere. The remaining definitions overlap enough not to justify separate articles.

Question![edit]

How many people realy use the symbol "D" to represent deca. I like this idea. — Hurricane Devon (Talk) 17:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Question back at you, does anyone acutally use deca, it seems much easier just to put another "0" on the end?--Commander Keane 14:31, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Decagrams are the normal (spoken) way to buy things like cheese, ham, salami etc. over a counter in Slovakia. On paper they use grams though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.36.193 (talk) 20:31, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

dekatherms is common usage for Natural Gas volumes where 1,000 cubic feet (1 Mcf) = 1 dekatherm (10 therms). (Philbert) 2605:A000:1407:8021:1969:BD73:88F4:989B (talk) 12:31, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It exists, but I don't know how common it is. There are some parts of the US where the suppliers bill like that, but I don't know if there is any usage outside the US at all. Rwessel (talk) 22:33, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1795[edit]

"adopted by France in 1795" - can somebody provide a cite? I've also found 1793 on the net. Femto 14:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Deca- (prefix) into Deca-[edit]

Deca- (prefix) deals with the historical and non-SI aspects of Deca-, while Deca- deals with the SI aspect of Deca-. This is unique because all other metric prefixes share a common article for all use cases, SI and otherwise. Further, neither Deca- nor Deca- (prefix) is so large that separate article would make sense. Therefore, I propose to merge both the articles. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 15:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: same thing. JoshuaAuble (talk) 23:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 12:31, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
